The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a romantic photo to
mark Valentine’s Day.
William and Kate are seen snuggled up to one another in a moody
black and white image released on February 14 2026.
In an accompanying message, the couple added a sweet pink love
heart emoji after wishing ”Happy Valentine’s Day”.
While the couple are known for sharing photos to mark events
like birthdays and anniversaries, their Valentine’s move seems to
be the start of a new tradition. It’s the second year in a row
they’ve marked the day for lovers publicly and it now seems to be
part of the royal calendar.
The never before seen picture was taken by Josh Shinner on a
spring day last year.
The couple are celebrating Valentine’s Day after a week which
has seen Prince William carry out a visit to Saudi Arabia at the
request of the government.
Meanwhile, Kate was at a school to mark Children’s Mental Health
week. The Princess spent time with youngsters as part of the week
long events that form part of the initiative by one of her
charities, Place2Be. The Princess of Wales is their patron.
As she marked Children’s Mental Health Week, Kate issued a
personal statement in which she said ”this year’s Place2Be
Children’s Mental Health Week is about the importance of belonging.
It can be easy to overlook the importance of the things that matter
most; love, care and time spent together. Belonging and connection
is so important, and is a fundamental part of early childhood
development. As Patron of Place2Be, I am incredibly proud of the
work they do to support families and communities to nurture
children and young people.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared an increasing
number of more personal posts on social media in recent years with
Kate taking a particular care to share her love of nature in posts
as she spoke of the importance of the outdoors in helping her
through her cancer treatment and recovery.
In coming weeks, they are expected to have a major role in the
State Visit by the President of Nigeria which will be hosted by
King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
